Hader recorded his second save of the season while pitching a perfect inning in Friday's 10-8 win over the Royals. He didn't record a strikeout.

Hader has gone 2-for-2 in save chances this season, and he looks as dominant as ever despite not making his season debut until June 3 following a left shoulder strain that kept him sidelined for the first two-plus months of the campaign. Hader owns a 7:1 K:BB in five appearances in 2026 and has yet to allow a run or a hit.

Outman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians.

Playing in his first game with Detroit after getting claimed off waivers from the Twins on Thursday, Outman wasted little time hitting his first home run with his new team as well as his first long ball of the season. The outfielder mostly struggled in Minnesota, posting a .156/.229/.250 slash line across 70 plate appearances. Outman will now get a chance to turn things around with the Tigers, though it remains to be seen what his role ultimately will be, and he's likely behind Matt Vierling for center field playing time, at least for now.

Morris earned his second save of the season in Friday's 9-8 win over the Cardinals by pitching a perfect ninth inning. He didn't record a strikeout.

Yoendrys Gomez has recorded three of the Twins' prior four saves, but it was Morris who pitched the ninth inning Friday and got the job done on just nine pitches (six strikes). It was Morris' second save of the season, and he also snapped a run of three straight outings allowing at least one run.

Gibson is slated to start Saturday's game against the Padres at Camden Yards, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Gibson will be handed a second straight turn through the Baltimore rotation while the Orioles await Chris Bassitt's (back) return from the injured list. The rookie right-hander has thus far made four appearances (three starts) over four separate stints with Baltimore this season, logging a 4.24 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 5:8 K:BB in 17 frames while reaching five innings in just one of those outings.

Civale (shoulder) is expected to be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game against the Pirates in Sacramento, Jason Burke of Roundtable.io reports.

Civale has been on the shelf since May 26 due to right shoulder tendinitis, but he proved he was ready for a return to the big leagues with a stellar showing in his lone rehab appearance Thursday with Triple-A Las Vegas. The veteran right-hander struck out seven over 4.1 perfect innings while spotting 38 of his 56 pitches for strikes. He could be operating with a light restriction on his pitch count Wednesday but should be capable of handling a normal workload in his subsequent starts.

Weathers (2-5) took the loss Friday, allowing six runs on five hits and one walk over 4.1 innings in a 8-5 loss against the Blue Jays. He struck out two.

The left-hander never got settled in Friday, surrendering three runs in the opening frame, another in the second and two more in the fifth. It's the third consecutive defeat for Weathers, who has an ugly 8.47 ERA with seven homers allowed during that stretch. The 26-year-old has been a boom-or-bust performer this year with at least five runs allowed in five separate starts while giving up one or no earned runs five times.

Springer went 1-for-2 with three walks, a two-run homer and three total runs scored in Friday's 8-5 win over the Yankees.

Springer ended a 14-game homer drought with his second-inning long ball and walked in his three subsequent plate appearances. The 36-year-old went 3-for-22 through the first six games of June, but he's been more productive during his past two contests, going 2-for-5 with five walks, a homer, two RBI and four runs. Despite his .208/.303/.361 slash line through 208 plate appearances this year, Springer has continued to operate as Toronto's primary leadoff man.

Varland picked up the save Friday against the Yankees, striking out two over a perfect ninth inning.

The right-hander saw a streak of 18 straight outings without giving up an earned run come to an end during his previous appearance Tuesday, but he bounced back Friday by throwing 12 of 16 pitches for strikes and securing his 12 save of the year. Varland retains a firm grip on Toronto's closer role with a 0.49 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 48:10 K:BB over 36.2 innings.

Yesavage (3-3) earned the win Friday, allowing five runs on four hits and six walks over five innings against the Yankees. He struck out three.

It certainly wasn't Yesavage's best performance as he walked at least six for the second time this season, though it was enough to net the win since the Blue Jays built up an early lead and tacked on late. The right-hander has surrendered five or more runs in three of his past four starts and has a 6.85 ERA and 18:17 K:BB across 22.1 innings during that span.

Kirk went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, two RBI and one run scored in Friday's win over the Yankees.

Kirk returned from a two-month absence Friday and made an immediate contribution with an RBI double during the first inning before delivering another run-scoring knock in the fifth. The 27-year-old has now played in six games this season and is batting .261 (6-for-23) with two doubles, a homer, four RBI and three runs.
